[TM]Re: Custom Feat Rules

Not just obtuse - it is contradictory and therefore, at least at some point, wrong.

Two or three different write-ups are stated to have the same effect (going to maxlevel of character).

I know that the REPEATLEVEL tag (both in template and class lst files) were changed recently but the docs don't have the old and new format, just a writeup for the new, which doesn't look to be correct.

Three of the examples say they go up to the MAXLEVEL of class. But none of the examples have MAXLEVEL in them, the last one appearing to only happen once at level 1.
